About

Are you looking for a language tutor with fifteen years of experience — someone who tailors every lesson to the learner and builds not just skills, but confidence? You’re in the right place. I offer personalized French, Russian, and German lessons for both children and adults. My lessons focus on developing fluency across comprehension, writing, and pronunciation, always with an eye toward each student’s individual goals. While I enjoy working with learners of all ages, I specialize in teaching teens and younger students (ages eight and up), creating an engaging environment where they can thrive. ZOOM ONLY

I have taken two German lessons with Kristina so far and I am impressed. I enjoyed my first lesson so much that I attended the second lesson even though I was feeling sick. In this short time, I already noticed Kristina is a skilled instructor with years of experience. She has been gauging my level since I haven't spoken my beginner level German in over a decade and has structured her lessons in a way that isn't too easy, yet difficult enough that I am challenged and learning many new things. I look forward to learning more from her so that I can someday surprise my German friends with decent fluency. ;)

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer payment plans and discounts.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I assess their level, unless they are starting from scratch, and select the teaching materials based on that. The students who are starting from scratch are asked to fill out a questionnaire.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I did my doctorate in philosophy, which meant working with the original German texts. What’s more, my father was German.
